Perception affects all three phases of the action-observation-reflection model. Observation and perception both deal with attending to events around us. We are selective in what we attend to and what we perceive. Perceptual sets - can influence any of our senses: They are the tendency or bias to perceive on thing and not another. Feelings, needs, prior experiences, and expectations can all trigger a perceptual set. Reflection deals with how we interpret our observations. Perception is inherently an interpretive, or a meaning-making activity.
